If you've got a multi-region player, Bruno, you can always it order from australia - try the ezydvd.com.au website. My local JB HI-FI ALWAYS has a copy in store, in it's 'Foreign' section, too, I'm happy to say.

I think it's quite appalling that it's out of print in it's country of origin, for goodness sakes! :o

I'm also looking forward to a reissue, I check back here now and then hoping someone will have some info on it.

One thing you may want to look into is the Moodysson box set:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lukas-Moodysson ... B0007URST4

Which has FÅ as well as the fairly good Tillsammons and depressing but brilliant Lilja 4-Ever. I never got around to watching the fourth film but that's probably a good thing.

One thing to be aware of is it isn't supposed to be a very good transfer of the film, if I remember right it's letterboxed 4:3 instead of proper widescreen, but if you must have a DVD that's a pretty good deal until something better comes out.

No a re-release is not in sight in Sweden.

So it won't happen with the 10 year anniversary unfortunately.

Thanks for the tip codyw1 but, just like mpox, I'd like to get the original DVD (or a reissue): I don't really like the different name and cover F.Å. got in english speaking countries.
By the way italian name is not so good, too:
Fucking Åmal - il coraggio di amare means: F.Å.- the courage to love

I think I'll wait for the swedish version on ebay...

But I find strange it's impossibile to find the correct DVD or even the soundtrack. Seems I discovered F.Å. too late?

Bruno, I could get you a copy of the old Swedish DVD if you want?

But that one doesn't have English subs, you understand this?

You are right here... I didn't understand this.
Because I found mention of a version with english subtitles I tought it was normal every version had them :)

sorry!

by the way there's a CHINESE version with swedish language and english and chinese subs! found on ebay, but it's cut in 16:9

I'll search some more...

Bruno... I m really really sorry to read your post. I really know what you re feeling... Because in year 2004 I felt the same feeling of yours...I absolutely wanted an original copy of what now is my Favourite Movie...and a friend of mine, known in this forum, in that period, had a friend in London...and there there was released a special box with 4 films of Lukas included FA...and it costed 20.00 euro. So that guy buy two boxes one for that friend of mine and one for me. Obiouvsly the language is the original...swedish ...but there re also english subtitles!!!! I dunno where to direct you but I wrote this post to tell you that you not got to lose your hope!!! I think if you try some more you ll surely find this wonderul movie. For what I can do...I ll search for something too and if I got news I ll let you know ok?

For now I send you a very big big hug! :twisted:

With Love

I send you an hug again... ;)

Fucking Åmål is way more effective, don't you find?

Well I don't know what the inhabitants of that town think about it :lol:
given the fact that almost all of the film was shot elsewhere, if I'd live in Åmål I'd be a little upset about it, probably. Unless I agree with the definition...

Hi Bruno!! :wink:

Good to hear something from you again! ;)

Now I understand what you wanted to say and...I can say to you that I Completely Agree with what you said!! 8) Fucking Amal sounds very very much more effective!!! :twisted: :twisted:
But...Bruno...you know that Åmål doesn't really exists as a town? :roll: The film was made in Trolhattan (dunno if it's the right way to write it... :roll: :roll: ) And one day, I Swear I'll surely go in there. I absolutely have to visit Sweden :twisted:

Now it's better if I go..got lot of things to do...but for now I'll send my biggest and greatest hug :)

For All Of You :roll: :twisted: :oops: :roll: :twisted:

I Love You All.. :oops:

if you want to see a map, to know where in Sweden this town is:

I passed not far from Åmål when going from Malmö to Norway, in ancient times (year 1996)... but it was before the movie, else I could have gone to see...
